Oh goodness, yes please. An intellectually honest history of FOSS is needed while we still remember what people like you did.

Podcasts – um, the infrastructure for long-time management of content (indexing, cataloging, preserving) is much more advanced for books, or even blog posts, than podcasts. Look at how often ‘Hackers’ get mentioned.

Slight bias on my part perhaps – I’ve done a lot of technical writing, and editing.

I’ve recently embarked on what’s turned into a project (it was originally just a talk proposal!) on the history of software documentation. Can’t do it without context! Count me in!

As a computer geek from a family of history geeks, I am totally on board with this. I’d love to help in any way I can, even if I wasn’t there personally in the early days.

Hi. I just stumbled upon your last blog, “How I came to find Linux”. It was a fascinating read, up there with Levy’s “Hackers” and other computer history books.

I know I won’t be the only one of the new generation who would appreciate another addition to the growing computer history pile.

Go for it!
